In other words, there are some profound things which Wilkerson does understand.
To render the Greek word for repentance is to commit the exegetical error known as the root fallacy.
The entire Bible teaches us what repentance involves. If you can only mock what Wilkerson is saying in the article, you are mocking the Bible.
What Wilkerson is ultimately suggesting is that much of what passes for saving faith is not saving faith at all. Much of what passes for conversion in our day is just the Satanic stuff of spurious conversion.
The spurious conversion, which is more common than a true conversion, is an artifact of man's Fall in Eden. God's elect experience the real thing, not the Satanic counterfeit devoid of real repentance.
Your position is part of the problem, part of the instrumental reason why spurious conversions are so common. By arguing for an experientially meaningless understanding of the supernatural event of repentance unto life, you are encouraging easy-believism.
(As an aside, I would point out that Wilkerson's crowd is not immune to the counterfeiting, unfortunately. A lot of his adherents don't grasp the other ways in which repentance can be counterfeited. One of these ways entails the decision to be as moral as possible.
That's not repentance, either. Even if you mix in a little sentimental religiosity, it's not repentance.
What Wilkerson needs to notice is that the Puritans approached holiness from an altogether different direction than Wilkerson does. They were predestinarians. That changes everything. And in this area, the Puritans were right an Wilkerson is wrong.)
To render the Greek word for repentance as merely a change of mind is to commit the exegetical error known as the root fallacy.
Easy-believism is a big problem in our day. The exponents claim to be the spiritual descendents of the Reformers in justification by faith alone, but they are actually at odds with the Reformers on this.
As John Bunyan said, it doesn't take much faith to save, but it takes true faith. And the assensus stuff which the Reformers complained about in Romanism has become a terrible mess in our day (especially in the dispensational and Wesleyan movements, IMO).
